Although modern gear is more powerful, portable, flexible and probably able to digitally reproduce pretty much every sound here, the point is that this guy had no-one to learn from. He couldn't just select a few patches and tweak them - all the sounds had to be crafted from oscillators, filters etc. So it's kind of like comparing constructing an Ikea chair with carving one from trees you chopped down yourself. Respect the craftsman, even if the music ain't your bag.

+Pioneer707 I'm into both artists, and Kraftwerk didn't predate Jarre by a decade. The fact that you describe JMJ as elevator music simply proves that you have no experience of writing or producing electronic music, dance or otherwise. Early Kraftwerk is very rough experimental and really hard to listen to, often without melody or rhythm. It wasn't until Autobahn and TEE that Kraftwerk got their signature sorted, roughly the time of Oxygen. Both artists are important, but as for influence and popularity, check out their album's sales figures.

Straightaway you hear the sound from his record from 1976, 30 years later in the studio! Now, either he remembers what the settings were or he has those pieces of paper to show him where to set the controls or he hasn't moved the controls on some of those things since 1976! It's the era of making a _few_ _great_ sounds. This is so in contrast to the digital workstation or modern virtual analog or post-2000 analog era where you've got guys in revews who say 128 or 1000 memories are not enough, plenty to store their 1000 crap sounds, every one forgettable and they all sound the same. I just heard some guy playing an Alesis A6 Andromeda. It sounded just the same as some other guy on a new Prophet-12 and some other guy on a Roland Jupiter 80. Yawn! Here I stumbled across this video of Jarre today 24 September 2014 and the last time I heard most of the sounds he playing was when I last heard Oxygene probably when I bought it on CD in the 1990s! So he is unique.

I sampled and took a load of samples and made my own program to play them for my retro remake game that I wrote. like play this at the end of this sample play this one.or it will loop the sample until the game does something then it triggers another one. I am getting back into programming so will write a proper sequencer. this guy is the best though

I designed and built my own computer in 1980 using "wrapping" technology (with a Z80 processor but no sound output). Later I had a Micromoog. My dream was to create and build an analog & digital sequencer to drive it but I hadn't enough money... and courage. Unfortunately, I later lost the plans of the circuitry. Would have been a cool stuff. Oxygene was a true shock and revelation for me. So full of "intention" . Bravo Jean-Michel !

i.m.o the instruments belongs to the right persons who can make it true in the right positions surely if they made themselves nutral so i totally don't mind that Jean has all those instruments however you want it to say it if the right persons don't get the chance to make it pleasant for us to shine colourfull to each other than it can never be our guilt thanks Jean for all the great works you did

Bart van Steenvoort i gues that you mean to say that i don't have one of those instruments, and i will tell you that i don't even want to worry about that. i.m.o. the right persons for the right musicinfluences, especially the ones who made themselves nutral, just have to deserve their right desirable positions and instruments. JMJ is a good example who proved the results by it.
